"Connect 2006 has been developed specifically to focus on the most pressing issues the Middle Eastern telcos are facing" mentioned Marie-Helene Couture, IIR Conference Manager.
"We are delighted to have both UAE operators present at the event amongst other leading experts from the Bahrain Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, Oman Mobile Telecommunications Company, Fastlink, MTC - Kuwait, Swisscom Mobile and CITC to name but a few. They all form great additions to the Connect 2006 programme."
The telecoms markets in the Middle Eastern and African regions have some of the highest growth rates worldwide. In the past few years, telecoms operators and regulators in the region have seen significant developments building on the wave of liberalisation and investments in new services. With competition growing, finding new ways to increase or defend market share as well as to increase loyalty and reduce churn are becoming priorities.
Recognised international and regional high-profile experts in telecoms will meet at Connect 2006 to discuss issues such as successful regulatory models, ensuring fair competition, fixed-mobile convergence, best strategies to increase revenues when market penetration rates are high and maintaining existing market share.
